I loved the pool and had an excellent experience swimming in the pool everyday.
This lake house exceeded all of our expectations and was absolutely perfect for our girls trip! The house easily accommodated our group of 15 ladies, with bed space to spare—everyone was comfortable, and it never once felt cramped. The basement was a huge hit, featuring a ping pong table, Pac-Man game, and a spacious great room ideal for entertaining. It was the perfect hangout spot after dinner each night! Upstairs, the open floor plan made it easy for everyone to gather, cook, and socialize. The kitchen was well-stocked and flowed right into the dining and living spaces, creating a warm and welcoming environment for us to hang out and connect. The outdoor area truly blew us away. Even with chilly weather, we took full advantage of the hot tub and fire pit, which created the perfect cozy ambiance. The screened-in porch was amazing for morning coffee and evening chats, and there was more outdoor space than anyone could possibly use—including a beautiful patio and plenty of seating options. The location is perfect—only a short drive to downtown New Buffalo, which makes for quick trips for shopping, dining and drinks. About two blocks away is a lookout of Lake Michigan. Several of the ladies in our group are already making plans to rebook the house with their extended families to enjoy the incredible in-ground pool during the summer months. Whether you’re planning a girls trip, family getaway, or any special occasion, this home checks every single box. Highly recommend—we can’t wait to come back!
Overall house was nice. The fireplace on main level was not usable per the notes left. There was a sewage smell that would linger from the laundry room. It was not a dry drain and at times it was horrible.
House was in a nice area. Had lots of amenities but a little room for improvement. Either way it was fine for our family and we enjoyed our stay
So many places to gather! Our crew gravitated towards the kitchen table but in warmer weather would've spent more time on the screened porch or by the pool. There's two comfy couch/ tv areas plus a bonus table and bar downstairs. We loved the arcade games, foosball and ping pong but cruising in the 6 person golf cart was the highlight. The basement opens to the pool so doesn't feel underground except those bedrooms don't have windows which is good if you like it dark! The primary bath has a giant deep tub, very relaxing :) Easy walk to several beach lookouts but a rocky shore, no water access.
This beautiful home has it all … a pool, hot tub, plenty of rooms and relaxing spaces, games and recreational options, away from busy tourist areas but not too far from great shops and towns, and its pet friendly! We definitely plan to return in the future.
